Fun fact when the concept of “memes” was first a thing on the internet, I absolutely called them “ mee -mees ” because I thought it sounded better and had only ever read the term, never hearing it pronounced. Especially since videos online were much less popular with so much slower connections. Even though I am younger than 30, I enjoy that I still got to live in a time before the internet was ever prevalent in everything like today.

S aaaame. I even got one of my old screen names from one of the early memes: Hipster Kitty. That one faded into obscurity almost as soon as it was created, but I liked it.

It helps a lot to know that it’s based on word gene, even if as understood today, they are only tangentially related to the memes Dawkins was talking about in The Selfish Gene.
Either way, saying meme is way better than if “
image macro” had actually caught on.

The problem also is that “image macro” is only one type of meme. Meme is much more than “photo with words on it”. Meme is supposed to be an internet phenomenon that propagates through society like a plague.
